This article summarizes work by Lorena Germán to address "what she calls 'educational numbness' in today's students, which is a result of how testing-centered schooling calls for students to be completely compliant, sit still and do assignments." A lot of what she recommends involves taking students places or having them create scenarios that stimulate in them the experience being described in the book or lecture. What I especially liked about this article, and this approach, is the treatment of experiences that may cause trauma in the students, and thus the care taken to ensure that the experiences created do not cause harm.
